In the latest PokerNews Podcast, Sarah Herring, Chad Holloway, and Jesse Fullen talk about cheating and murder in the poker world. Regarding the former, Alex Foxen shook the community by leveling cheating allegations against Ali Imsirovic, and for the latter, well a former poker pro is in hot water facing third-degree murder charges in Minnesota.

They also talk about Phil Ivey and Jake Schindler victories at Super High Roller Bowl Europe, remember the Ante Up Poker Cast and All-American Dave, preview upcoming stops, and offer predictions for the $25K PokerGO Tour Heads-Up Showdown.

Finally, Chad talks with crypto enthusiast Wesley Flan, who took up poker just four months ago but is already making headlines on Hustler Casino Live, including one session where he spun up his $10,000 starting stack up to $190,000 thanks in no small part to a set-over-set hand against Garrett Adelstein.
